Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)

History

Founded in 929 CE. The shrine originated when Sugawara no Kiyoyuki, Michizane's third son, established a shrine in the province of Hito while carrying his father's remains to his post. It was later relocated to its current site. Because it was founded by Michizane's family, it is listed as one of the Three Great Tenjin Shrines of Japan.

What visitors say

Located on a hill, the shrine offers a refreshing and quiet space after climbing the stairs. It is frequently visited by examinees seeking the deity of learning. The grounds also house a mausoleum (Gobyousho) and Itsukushima Shrine. While parking is available nearby, caution is required on the approach path due to its narrow width. A special Goshuin (shrine seal stamp) is issued on the 25th of every month.
